Journal - Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?
I don't know that "sitting" work is, but I do know what citing work is. I do believe that citing work is a pain in the butt, however, I also believe that it is imperative to give the author credit where it is due. Citing work isn't fun, but it is important to maintain academic integrity in all situations.

Journal - What is your favorite book, magazine, or publication? Why?
My favorite magazine is Inside Lacrosse, I like it because it is one of the only lacrosse specific magazines available. It also has cool articles in in it, my favorite is called "weapon of choice" I n lacrosse, each stick is very different, this article interviews players about what makes their stick different from everyone else. I also like the " recruiting roundup" I talks about the top projected prospects in the nation and interviews them. Inside Lacrosse is by far my favorite magazine.

Do you enjoy writing? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why is writing an essential skill in life? How will you use this skill in the future?
This is a joke right? Do I enjoy writing? Yeah, heck no. Writing is probably one of my least favorite things to do in the whole world. Although I do not enjoy writing, I do it because it builds good skills for later in life. One of the many skills it builds is it increases your vocabulary. Possessing a dense vocabulary also helps you in people to people interaction. Using a plethora of words will make you sound more educated and you will come off as more intelligent- which is important for first impressions.

Journal - What is creating an outline for a paper important? Do you think it helps you personally? How would you prefer to outline a paper - pen and paper or an online tool? Is there a different way you know if that would prefer to organize your thoughts?
I do believe creating an outline for a paper is important. It helps me personally, and I think its a good idea, but I prefer to use a pen and paper. I make a outline so I can see what my paper will look like and it also helps me illustrate the evidence behind my claims.

Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
I look up to my dad in life. I'm a lot like my dad so we have a special type of bond compared to my other siblings. They main way we relate is how we both played/are going to play athletics in college. The recruiting process was long and new for me but since my dad did it before he was able to guide me to commit to the right college.

Journal - If there was one big global issue in the world that you could fix, what would it be? A cure for cancer? Save the rain forest? Stop pollution? Think about it and then write about it. Why would you choose that specific issue?
I would chose to end war. When you think about it, war is one of the many causes of death, poverty, and money loss. War causes death which brings unnecessary hardships to the family who lost a member. without war the family would not be grieving and still have their son/daughter. War would also start to cure poverty. Bombing runs bring about many families to be homeless. with out war families would still have a house to live in. In conclusion, I would chose to end all wars because of the benefitsthat occur from no war.

On Friday we discussed Public Service Announcements. In your own words tell me what they are and what their purpose is. If you could create a PSA what would your topic be? Why?
If I could create a PSA I would create it over texting while driving. Texting while driving is a big problem in our society, and it leads to a lot of car crashes and deaths. The roads would be a much safer place if everyone stopped texting and driving.
